Also, regarding performance issues, my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements as of 1.8, after they were significantly increased

There's your problem. If you're running minimum requirements, expect performance issues. Don't expect Mojang to limit development because your computer isn't keeping up with their development, they will continue to increase the requirements as the game is further developed.

My computer can't play Crysis 3 all that well because of their new engine, but runs Crysis 2 fine. I'd expect that if I really wanted to play Crysis 3 without performance issues, I'll need a better computer. It seems you're in a similar situation.

I didn't even know they changed the minimum requirements as my computers have always been above the recommended requirements, as a result I've never had performance issues in SSP since release(beta was a different story before Anvil and such). I do find it absolutely hilarious that they added this to the current system requirements though.

Minecraft will not run on a toaster (despite some actually using Java), your car (feel free to prove us wrong, though), or a Chromebook.

Also, the guy having your "strange issue" noted that he was running a server. He could've been running Hamachi on his i5, I wouldn't be surprised if he had performance issues.

This forum has made me decide that I now want kids, so that when they get old enough, I can forbid them from coming here. it's a terrible place.

I know about the 1.8 feature, but I'm still playing in 1.6.4, and probably will be for a long time; I don't really see anything in newer versions that would make me want to play them

I think things like banners and armor stands are fantastic improvements that I'd miss if I retro-graded(despite not really using them yet, I have plans!). 1.9 will also bring pressed dirt, something I've been waiting years for to make parks and forest trails...

Plus, of course, the performance issues - I certainly don't want to play in a version that makes me have to run at minimal settings, never mind I might as well be on Peaceful, as I noted here, due to a bug

Strange. I run 1.8.3 at a consistent 70 FPS with a 20-24 chunk render distance... That sounds like a server issue. Multiplayer has always had serious stability and performance issues. Mojang does not develop the game for a multiplayer platform, 4J will though if you want to pay for Xbox live.

This is why multiplayer still does not have any kind of control software like bukkit/worldguard from Mojang, which is essentially required software to run a decent server. Depending who you believe, they also actively shut down bukkit, creating the term "bukkitgate".

I think their lack of multiplayer support is actually one of the great follies in the development of minecraft myself.

but I think that the ease in getting specific enchants defeats the fact that you have a finite amount of repairs.

I agree. Instead of having to spend hundreds of levels and waiting a year to randomly get a silk touch pick by the luck of the gods, I have 4-5 different silk touch picks in 3 months of playing on the new system...

I added a display of days to my mod's inventory display so now I can see exactly how many days have passed in real-time

This has also been added to vanilla, just FYI. It's in the F3 debug screen. It's next to the Local Difficulty. I've played on that map for 618 days in the nearly 3 months I've had it apparently.

I'm not sure that's a real accurate measure of anything anyway though. Sometimes I leave my minecraft on for hours while I'm afk. People also spend quite a bit of time afk in front of mob farms that will skew their numbers quite a bit from actual play time.

I'm more impressed by what people actually do with the time. Whether it's some mega build, or the amount of ore you've collected yourself.
